Commencement Exercises.

The eighth annual Commencement
of the Abilene High School took place
last night in BOnebrake's Opera House.
The house was fall, many being COM
PEELED to stand. The program was one
of the most unique and interesting
which ever greeted the public. Many
compliments have been bestowed upon
the different members, for the worthy
manner in which they rendered their
themes, and also for the line of thought
presented. A trio sung by the Misses
Ray. Anderson and BOnell, was a
musical treat seldom heard, and elected
an encore. A laughable trio, sung by
Messrs, Ellison, Petit and Upshaw,
brought down the house, and received
an enthusiastic encore. A quartette,
consisting of Misses LebOld, Anderson,
Bonell and Crary, was well rendered
and received merited applause. In
speaking of the exercises as a whole,
they are thought by many to be the
best ever held in the Opera House.
